Union celebrates ‘outstanding students’

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) Students’ Union Government (SUG) has held an award night to celebrate students with special talents and qualities and achievements.

The event held at the Princess Alexandra Auditorium and was attended by guests from corporate organisations, including banks.

It featured comedy, dance, music and an instant quiz tagged: Who Wants to be a Millionaire, where students contested to win N10,000 cash. The quiz became interesting when the first contestant jovially requested to walk away after the first question. The union president, Peter Oji, and members of the parliament also participated in quiz.

Highlights of the event included presentation award and certificates of recognition to some students for their exceptional abilities. The Most Inspiring Aluta Leader award went to the union Vice President, Joy Nebo, while Most Punctual Parliament Member award went to Victor Emenike.

The award for Filmmaker of the Year was given to Kingsley Nebo; Best Male Hostel of the Year award went to Eni Njoku Hall, Akpabio Female Hostel won the Best Female Hostel of the Year and Rotaract Club, the Best Club of the Year.

Peter was honoured as the Grand Commander of the Lion Republic. The union president said the event also had a purpose as to celebrate graduating students for their excellence in academic and extra curriculum activities. The union leaders also hosted graduating physically-challenged students.
